La Digue and Praslin two-island tour from Mahé
Description
- Explore two beautiful islands in one day
- Visit Vallée de Mai on Praslin Island
- Enjoy a Creole lunch on La Dingue
What to expect
Experience two of the most beautiful islands of Seychelles in one day. Discover many wonders such as Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve, an incredible palm forest that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, and enjoy a Creole lunch to recharge your batteries between visits.
First to explore is the island of Praslin, where you'll be transported to the enigmatic Vallée de Mai. This prehistoric forest is home to the extraordinary Coco de Mer, the double-lobed coconut, with a rather mysterious shape. Vallée de Mai has once been declared the site of the biblical Garden of Eden where the Coco de Mer was said to be the forbidden fruit. Your tour guide will lead you to discover this magical island of rare, endemic flora and fauna. After Vallée de Mai, head to Cote D'or Beach where you'll have access to souvenir shops, followed by relaxation on the beach, swimming and sunbathing. Leaving Cote D'or Beach, embark on a scenic drive towards Praslin Jetty for boarding of the boat to La Digue.
With its small number of inhabitants, La Digue remains the most untouched among the three frequently visited islands. Upon arrival in La Digue, you'll be transferred to a restaurant for lunch. After lunch, your visit to L'Union Estate starts, slowly unveiling the surprises of deep-rooted farm life with the discoveries of the copra mill, the giant tortoises' pen, and the time-honored plantation house. As you go further, you'll be welcomed by giant boulders of granite nestled on the pristine and world-famous beach of Anse Source D'Argent which is said to be the most photographed beach. Opportunity awaits for a revitalizing dip in its rippling azure waters.
